In her lawsuit, Richardson, 35, claims that she informed officials at Northwest Christian of her pregnancy in May.

School officials told her she had to marry the father right away or else dump the unborn child’s father and declare the pregnancy an error, the lawsuit contends.

Richardson, already a mother of two, and the unidentified boyfriend have been together for 12 years, the suit says.

The now-fired professor chose neither choice offered by school officials, she said. Instead, she asked for personal privacy.

And thus, in late July, Northwest Christian administrators fired Richardson via a letter from Dennis Lindsay, the vice president for academic affairs. According to the lawsuit, the letter stated that “sexual relations outside of marriage is contrary to the university’s core values.”

In a previous missive, Lindsay explained that “having a child out of wedlock while still continuing a relationship with the father” sets “a bad example” for the fully grown, adult students who attend Northwest Christian.

Additionally, alcohol and tobacco are forbidden on campus. “Mooning, ‘streaking’ and public urination” are verboten. “Prolonged displays of physical affection” are “not considered appropriate.” And absolute no pornography of any kind.

The NCU website states that faculty members must demonstrate “a maturing Christian faith,” notes The Register-Guard.

Richardson’s lawsuit declares that her Christian faith is “incredibly important to her.”
